AndroidAuthority has spotted an interesting update on Samsung UK's website. The DeX page mentions at the very bottom that the DeX app for Windows will be discounted. “The DeX for PC on Windows OS will end support from One UI 7 version. We encourage customers to connect mobile phone and PC through the Link to Windows feature,” it says.
This is simply a matter of Samsung simplifying offerings, because Microsoft has been working on similar functionality for a while now, one that's not just compatible with Samsung phones but with other Android-powered devices as well. Link to Windows offers the same feature set and is obviously far more optimized.This is simply a matter of Samsung simplifying offerings, because Microsoft has been working on similar functionality for a while now, one that's not just compatible with Samsung phones but with other Android-powered devices as well.

This isn't the only software element that's being removed from the new iteration. It has also emerged that One UI 7.0 won't allow Edge Panel downloads from the Galaxy Store. Perhaps Samsung has taken a long, hard look at the things that weren't being used at any major scale and decided to cut them in the interest of simplicity. That's something we can get behind.
Link to windows should give option to access various folders to seek media and other files. For example photos are accessed to gallery only. If a photo is enhanced with Galaxy enhance it gets saved under enhance folder in the phone. We have to move the file to gallery in the phone to access through link too windows app.
